Oh, well, it does exist and is automatically added -- I just have to
switch the d*mn printer on.

The printer spits out a blank page. That's probably okay as I don't
think it is supposed to be able to print plain text.
Still, in the Printer Wizard, there's nothing below the USB node.
Extrapolating from how the URL for my parallel printer looks, I've
tried to add the printer with the URI usb:/dev/usb/lp0, but that
doesn't work.
